hello
hello
yes do you have any pets
i do i have a big dog
oh what kind
huh oh he's just a big bloodhound
okay
i had some rabbits and they were much easier to take care of than this big dog is
i bet what happened to the rabbit
well we got the bloodhound and the rabbits and the bloodhound didn't mix well so they were easier to get rid of than the big dog and my kids were anxious to have a have a puppy
um-hum
um-hum
uh-huh
okay well we have two dogs uh Chasta's the small one that we
uh-huh
kind of inherited and then we have Lady that Gene has been wanting for a long time it's a collie
and she is a sweetheart
yeah
and we have two cats
and one of them now Lady can go up the steps she goes up the steps really really slow
and she kisses Nikki
and they kind of you know look at each other and everything and then then Chasta uh Lady'll turn around and come back down stairs but she knows that if she moves fast
that uh she's going to move you know
yeah
yeah
huh
yeah and um by the way my other big pet here said he's gonna call you tonight and
okay well i've had some really interesting things happening with my dog let me tell you about this
you have
i have a dog that at nighttime when it wants to go in the garage because he's kind of spoiled he will bark
and i have a neighbor next door who gets real mad at this so
for the last three weeks he's turned us into the police and in to the uh the animal control and every time they come over of course he's very well behaved and he doesn't bark or anything and so
oh you're kidding
um-hum
it's just really gotten out of hand i mean he has called and threatened my kids and to come over and kill the dog it's going it's just berserk
oh
he doesn't have any pets
he does he has a dog himself out in the backyard that barks but for some reason this dog's bark just drives him up a wall and he's just
um
um-hum
i don't know it's been really upsetting he keeps calling and
oh
you know it bothers me when the dog barks so as soon as he barks we put him in the garage but
um
um-hum um-hum
i don't know what the problem is
oh for crying out loud well
he is an alcoholic so i think he's just found something to vent his anger on and it's he's decided that it's us but
um-hum
um-hum um-hum well we don't have that problem Lady hardly ever barks at all unless she's outside playing and uh Chasta only barks like when the paper boy delivers the mail she might bark for a little bit
uh-huh
see that's like this dog it only barks i mean the longest it ever barks is five or ten minutes
um-hum
hm
but you know he's called over and said he's going to get the police to take Lee away and that we're idiots for having a dog like that and
i'll be
oh that's too bad
it's just really been upsetting because they were real good neighbors up until this
um-hum
this time
yeah that would that would really be upsetting with me too if my neighbors didn't like my dogs you know
yeah
and uh well of course two of two other neighbors have dogs you know and they get to come over and play
well see everybody everybody all the way up has a dog that's what's so strange every house all you know all the way up from on five you know five houses up from me and five houses down have dogs
um-hum hum
um-hum
um-hum um-hum well some people have dogs but they really don't like them i don't know why they even keep them
yeah
you know really some a lot of people have pets and
yeah i figure why have them if you're not gonna take real good care of them
oh yeah God mine are like my family
but
at night they sit out here by the door by the patio door and look in you know sit side by side
yep that's how this one is
so every night i think for two hours every night and then we let them in
and they come in they just lay down but just i guess just the idea that they're in the house with us for a while you know
huh
yeah feel loved huh huh well i haven't i don't know what i you know i can't figure out how to solve the problem unless i get rid of Kahuna and uh you know
uh-huh so
i've got to live in this neighborhood so it's almost boiled down to do i
well
do i keep a pet that i love or do i live unhappily in a neighborhood paranoid of whether he's ever gonna bark or not
well that's a shame you know and you can i know you can have their barker taken out but who'd want to do that that would be awful
yeah
yeah
you know
well that's too bad
but anyhow we don't have that problem like i say
well i'm thinking about going back to rabbits they were quiet mess free
um-hum um-hum um-hum
so
well at least you can still get some right
yeah we have a ample supply of rabbits
well that's good well let's see
boy
well this is really a treat
isn't it funny though i just wondered if someday this was going to happen
yeah let's hope it happens again
